F**king with Foursquare

Foursquare is pretty neat. You can post you location via phone or browser and get nifty badges for different things or become a mayor of a place if you check in to that location the most. Its also exceedingly easy to cheat at.

I only casually mentioned the idea of cheating to @Jack_Mannino and within a few minutes of emailing him the link to the API he was already traveling the globe at record speed.

vid - (optional, not necessary if you are 'shouting' or have a venue name). ID of the venue where you want to check-in

venue - (optional, not necessary if you are 'shouting' or have a vid) if you don't have a venue ID or would rather prefer a 'venueless' checkin, pass the venue name as a string using this parameter. it will become an 'orphan' (no address or venueid but with geolat, geolong)

shout - (optional) a message about your check-in. the maximum length of this field is 140 characters
